Breast asymmetry is a condition that can be rectified in London through cosmetic surgery administered by leading UK female plastic surgeon, Elena Prousskaia.
The term beast asymmetry is used to refer to breasts that are uneven in size or shape. While many have breasts that are not perfectly symmetrical, a high degree of asymmetry can be a cause for concern.
Whilst not a condition that is of medical need to treat, asymmetrical breasts can be a cause for concern, impacting confidence and self-esteem. With this, the quality of life can be impacted, many women find it that bit harder to relax on the beach, around the pool, or in intimate situations or just everyday life because of the perceived imperfection in their breasts.
Many who seek this form of surgery in London have tuberous breast – also known as tubular breasts. This is a genetic condition that impacts the development of the breasts, leaving them underdeveloped, and often with a tube-like appearance.
Tuberous breast often leads to a large gap between the breasts and asymmetry.
Others might find previous surgery leaves them with breasts that are not even, for others still it might be an issue that is brought about by pregnancy or significant weight loss.
Ultimately, the cause of the unevenness in the breasts does not matter, what matters is that there are ways to transform the breasts.
Surgery is potentially suitable for anyone who finds their breasts a cause for concern.
Clearly, if someone had very mild asymmetry and this did not cause them any concern there would be little benefit opting for cosmetic surgery.
However, for those who find their confidence impacted, for those who see a knock-on effect in their work, personal and love life, the benefits of surgery can be profound.
The suitability of surgery to treat asymmetrical breast can only be determined at a detailed consultation.
A skilled, experienced surgeon such as Elena has a range of surgical options for treating asymmetrical breasts and it is not possible in this page to suggest which one would be most suitable in any particular case.
One option is the use of breast implants, these adding volume and helping to reshape the breasts. The implants, either saline or silicon, would be inserted via incisions that are made in a position that minimise visible scarring.
For other prospective patients, an option might be to rearrange existing breast tissue – it might be that there is enough tissue, but it is not in optimal position.
Some might benefit from having a fat transfer, the grafted fat them helping to reshape the breasts as required.
Where suitable, this option has the added benefit of tackling another area that might be a cause for concern, for instance fat grafted from the abdomen would create a tummy tuck at the same time as the breasts are reshaped.
A combination can also be used, implants or expanders with grafted fat for instance, this reduces the size of implant required and the fat adds a degree of extra refinement to the finished shape.
The procedure really starts however with a detailed consultation.
The consultation is of vital importance, it is the chance for the person with uneven breasts to talk, to state their concerns and the results they hope to achieve.
The surgeon can listen and then suggest options and alternatives and a recommended plan of action. There will often then be a second consultation and the prospective patient given due time to come to a fully informed decision – is surgery truly for them?
The initial consultation would also provide full details of cost, again making it easier to make an informed decision.

Our Amazing Results

Congenital breast asymmetry means the development of different size and shape breast. The difference in size and shape may be mild or very significant. It normally affects patient confidence and quality of life, that is why these patients are normally seeking surgery at relatively young age.
While complications with surgery are infrequent, no surgical procedure is without risks. Among the possible complications are scars, infection, haematoma, implant displacement and implant rupture. Elena will provide you with further information with the risks and provide you with a detailed consent form during your consultations. This will help you to minimise the risks.
The Elena Prousskaia Clinic prides itself on the quality of its aftercare so we will make absolutely sure you know what to expect, and how much rest is needed. We will give you specific instructions that may include how to care for your breasts following surgery, medications to apply or take orally to aid healing and reduce the risk of infection, and when to follow-up with Elena. Elena will also advise you on a specialised garment bra, which will also help with your recovery.
Correction of breast asymmetry is surgery which aims to correct difference in the size and shape of your breasts and to improve your body image. The possible reasons for you to seek surgery are:
You would wear special garment bra 24 hours a day for the 4-8 weeks. You can remove it only for the duration of taking a shower. After that you may be able to wear a normal bra.
Fixing breast asymmetry is normally achieved by reducing the largest breast to the size of the smaller breast in order to get same amount of skin and breast tissue on both sides, in most of cases breast implants are used to improve on volume and shape as a part of the same procedure. Ideally, to restore complete symmetry, the surgeon aims to achieve same volume of skin and tissue enhanced by same volume implants on both sides.
Please visit our fees page for more information.
The final result can take up to 12 months after surgery, once swelling has settled down. You should rest and avoid any physical activity in the first 48 hours after surgery. You should avoid all sport activities, housework such as hovering, driving, dog walking for at least 4-6 weeks following surgery and any weight lifting or strenuous activities for up to 8-12 months following the surgery.
The shape of implants can be round or anatomical (teardrop). Both can provide an excellent result. The outer shell and the filling may vary depending on the manufacturer. Miss Prousskaia has never used PIP implants in her practice and she will offer you high quality implants from the best manufacturers. You will discuss with Miss Prousskaia which specific shape and size of implant would give you the optimal result. You should know that in the European Union (EU) 95% of implants used for breast augmentation are made of silicone gel and only 5% contains other type of fillings such as saline. Mentor Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants are devices with shells constructed from silicone elastomer. The shell is filled with MemoryGel®, Mentor’s proprietary formulation of silicone gel.
Generally speaking this surgery takes around 2-3 hours, although this varies depending on the nature of the procedure.
Elena prides herself on taking the time to truly understand a patient’s aims and discussing what result will work best given the patient’s body shape and size. Although good results are expected, the body is not symmetric and almost everyone has some degree of unevenness, which may not be recognized in advance. The more realistic your expectations as to results, the better your results will be in your eye. You will have at least two consultations with Elena where she ensures that she meets your expectations and she will always try to achieve your desired results.
Elena does not operate on patients that regularly smoke or vape. To be considered for this procedure you must refrain from smoking or vaping for 3 months before and after your surgery.
